of Stockholders.
The First National Bank Of Great Falls,
which was founded a year ago is keeping
pace with the growth of the city with
whose prosperity it is closely identified.
The additional capital of $4,000 could
have been placed as o 0 as the issue was
authorized, but the bank has preferred to
allot it among leading capitalists, bankers,
and men of enterprise generally, who
would be of service in many ways to the
bank and the city. The result OF this
prudent policy, is that the bank has now
q list of stockholders which comprises
many men of capital and enterprise in
New York, St. Paul and Helena, as well
MS merchants, stock-raisers and property
owners residing in this city and neighbor-
hood. The list of stockholders is as fols

C. A. Broadwater; viee-president, T. E.

Chowen, who was yice-president last year,
retired from that position to attend to his
own business interests in this city as
president OF the Cataract mill and as a real
estate owner. Hon. T. E. Collins, whose
election goes into effect to-day, will more
aver take an active part in the business
management Of the bank, which Mr..
Chowen's business engagements would
not permit him to do. Mr.. Collins, the
new vice-president, Is widely known as
the member of the legislative council
from this district and as the head OF the
Bank of Northern Montana at Fort Ben
ton, where he ranks among the solid men
of that wealthy burg. He will reside in
this city, where he will build u block on
the lot which he OWL on the best part of
Central avenue.
Under the prudent management of Mr..
Phelps the First National realized a fair
profit on its first years business. 1t has
entered on the second year with a capital
of 100000 and 217 accounts. which is a
large number for q city which three years
ago had few houses and no bank at all.
The First National has bills in circulation,
which serve to make Great Falls known
amongthe business men of the country. And
its daily transactions often exceed $4,000.
The First National will undoubtedly grow
with the general advancement of the city.
1t will disburse a large amour of money
in connection with the construction of the
Manitoba and Montana Central railroads
during the current year, and it will, nc
doubt, in the future be the means of at
tracing considerable capital to this region
for investment.
